I have a herd of 100 cows split half between registered Angus cows and the other half of commercial cows are primarily angus. My goal is to have a section of the herd eventually produce club calves. Last year I bred 10 cows each with Walks Alone, GCC Whizard, Fat Butt, Smilin Bob, and I80 in hopes of getting a club calf momma base. I would like to do the same this year and was wondering what bulls you guys think make good females to put back in a program. The bulls I have been considering are Yellow Jacket, Uproar, Combustible, Unstoppable, Jawbreaker, and I Believe. I probably will use alot of Barstow Cash and Pilgrim on my registered stock. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Would you be interested in using some of those commercial cows as recips and move a section of your program into Shorthorns?

If so, see my recip needed post.

I appreciate the offer on the receips, but I have a large demand for calves coming out of my program with locals, and I cant sacrifice any cows. Thanks though.

Can the public get Pilgrim for a somewhat reasonable price?
